I'm wondering if both Hamilton and Rosberg are planning to wear yellow helmets this year. If they do, how are we supposed to tell who is who? It was never an issue before as their teammates always had different helmets.

From the images I've seen of both drivers it's 'easy' to tell them apart as Nico has a chrome Merc sign in the middle of the black monster band, whether this is the case on the goggle box is another matter, at the circuit it'll be absolutely no help whatsoever, that's a fact!!

Looking at that picture I think I am going to get a little confused at the start of the season especially as drivers sit so low in their cars & you can usually only see the top part of their helmet. You do get used to the slight differences, though, as the season goes on & I hope this is the case at Mercedes & Laura, you're right, sometimes it is only the different colour of the onboard camera that shows you which driver is which but, I sometimes forget to look at that

From the side it will be easy.

High cockpit sides may put paid to that, especially when they are going 150+ MPH.

the one tweeting between corners should be hamilton...

I'm not big on the rules but why aren't teams allowed to use different liveries for each car. As long as the livery is actually connected to the teams.

It gets me thinking about BAR's car a few years ago. They wanted one car in 777 sponsorship and the other in red stripe.

If you think about it other teams could easily do this...

Ferrari: One car being their normal red livery and one being Ferrari yellow liveryRed Bull: One being normal red bull livery the other being Red Bull Lite (light blue) liveryMclaren: One being their current Silver dash of red/orange livery and the other in the rocket red/orange livery (victory t-shirts)......................

I could go on a mention something like this for each team but I can't understand why teams are not allowed to do this.

It's a nice idea and one I'd like to see. But one problem with it would be the amount of bodywork parts they would have to take to each race ... Nearly twice a much to cover both cars ( that is just a guess mind to the amount )

I don't know if the FIA is against this, but I think the sponsors themselves would not like this. They paid the teams for their brand to be advertised on two cars, not just one, and a different livery may end up compromising this a bit.

If Hamilton does well (Wins races/Gets podiums) then all the Schumi lovers will claim that Hamilton has a better car this year & Schumi couldnt win because his car was poor.If Hamilton does very poor everyone will say Schumi was a better driver & could do better.

In either case, I think Hamiltons gonna get a lot of flak for Schumi fans.

It was 555 and Lucky Strike.

They wanted to run:

When told they weren't allowed, they ran this monstrosity on both cars:
